In this recipe I used orange juice, however, if you prefer you can use water or a mixture of half and half. Also , I used lime zest, but any citrus zest will work. Orange or lemon. anything to give it a little zing .
If you dont have fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries can be substituted, however I always prefer fresh when possible. Fresh are also great to use for vanilla-sugar-cranberries/ they are absolutely delicious. I also like to use fresh for my Cranberry Orange Muffins they are so good and perfect for a quick breakfast.
